We Are Now Proud Parents!

ahem...of two little kittens, that is. Knew that would get your attention though...hehe. They are from the Manx breed and characterized by their stubby little tails which make them look much like bobcats. They are also known for their unusual dog-like behavior and attentiveness to their owners—one of the few breeds that might actually come when you call their names and have been known to even play fetch! These two are a little brother and sister, Leo (orange) & Chloe (gray), that we got from the Ft. Lauderdale Humane Society. We've been wanting a pet of for a while now, and since we're living in a condo, it just seemed practical to get a cat. Nika and Dan suggested that we get 2, as they are themselves proud parents to Oliver and Kiddo—2 brother cats—and feel that an extra cat isn't really that much more work. Plus, it guarantees they will be entertained and kept company when we're out. So, even though they are not human babies, they're the only "babies" for now. Here are some sweet little photos of the newest members of our family.
